Chapter 309: Chapter 309: The Perfect Match, Uncle and Aunt
Gu Zilan muttered sullenly.
"But, Uncle hasn’t restricted Auntie’s freedom. Whatever she wants to do, Uncle tries his best to fulfill her wishes," he said.
"That old fogey, Gu Tao, has been restless, and he even threatened Uncle with his words just now. Because he noticed that Uncle really cares for Auntie."
"But Uncle fearlessly fired back a threat of his own!"
Gu Zilan lifted his head, "I feel so useless."
Luo Manya: "You’re not useless, you and Uncle are just good at different things. You excel at governing planets, while Uncle’s combat power is very strong and he excels in leading troops into battle."
"Besides, Auntie and I are not the same. Didn’t you say that Auntie has also evolved into a Beastman? And, she is also an outstanding student at Empire Military College. Her participation in the pent-school competition proves her personal strength is also very strong."
"Uncle and Auntie are a match made in heaven, both exceedingly strong individuals. Naturally, their way of life is different from ours."
Luo Manya smiled at Gu Zilan, "I am not keen on fighting and killing, and although I cannot leave the Imperial Palace most of the time, I actually think this isn’t so bad."
"Manya, thank you. Being able to marry you is truly the greatest fortune of my life!"
The two of them held hands tightly.
In her heart, Luo Manya actually envied Su Wan.
But as she herself said, she is not one to seek combat, and indeed, this kind of life really isn’t bad.
For every endeavor, if one desires a reward, there must be an input of effort.
She loves Gu Zilan.
So, she is willing to make that sacrifice.

Training Base Star.
Several spacecraft bearing the marks of other planets parked one after another at the terminal.
Everyone disembarking was subject to a security check.
Lan Rui walked down with an indifferent face, while Lan Ruojin softly reminded her at her side.
"In the team from Empire University this time, there’s Su Wan. Lan Rui, I’m warning you, if you dare to provoke her again on purpose, you’re done for!"
Lan Rui frowned, "Are you ever going to drop it?"
Lan Ruojin cracked a smile, "This is what Lan Ruochen instructed me to do, to make sure I remind you thoroughly. What you did last time has already disappointed him. How do you feel about letting down the brother who cares about you the most?"
Lan Rui’s face darkened.
Last time, because of her pregnancy, she left Empire University to return to Mermaid Planet.
And was scolded by Lan Ruochen right away.
Lan Rui had never been berated like that by Lan Ruochen before and she was stunned on the spot.
During the surgery, no one cared for her or comforted her.
Lan Rui lay in the medical pod and cried for a long time.
What had she done wrong? Was just liking Gu Jue enough to receive so much malice?
Wasn’t it just that she fell for him a little later than Su Wan?
She had done nothing unforgivable; why did everyone have to bully her like this!
Seeing the resentment in her eyes, Lan Ruojin clicked his tongue.
He said in a low voice, "Lan Rui, if you don’t repent, after this competition, you’ll no longer be a princess of Mermaid Planet."
Her status as a member of the Royal Family would be revoked.
Lan Rui clenched her fists.
Lan Ruojin didn’t know if his foolish little sister would take his words to heart.
In fact, Lan Ruochen had given Lan Rui one last chance by sending her to the pent-school competition.
After all, Lan Ruochen still cared for his sister.
But who could have foreseen that among the five participating students from Empire University, there would be Su Wan?
Lan Ruojin even felt a bit of schadenfreude.
Lan Rui probably couldn’t resist, and then she would provoke Su Wan again, and that would truly be interesting!
When it came to Su Wan, Lan Ruojin felt a slight regret.
After all, Su Wan was the girl he had fallen in love with at first sight.
However, Lan Ruojin was very rational, knowing that the other party was already married, and her husband was the formidable Commander Gu.
He had long since dared not have any improper thoughts about Su Wan.
Apart from the Mermaid Planet, people from Yuanyi University had also arrived.
Students and teachers from Yuanyi University, as expected, had wings of various colors.
Leaning on the balcony railing, looking at that long row of wings, Su Wan clicked her tongue in amazement.
"I have a soft spot for Yuanyi University, look at those white wings, they’re like angels! The black wings are pretty cool too. Wait, is that pair of wings red?"
Su Wan talked for a while and realized that her companion had not spoken.
She suddenly understood, "Xiao’an, you have wings too, could it be that you were from Yuanyi Planet before?"
Sheng An looked at the people from Yuanyi University and shook her head.
"I don’t know, I’ve been in the orphanage ever since I had memories."
"Xiao’an..."
"It’s okay, Xiaowan, don’t worry about me, I’ve actually come to terms with the whole family thing. Now I have my brothers and sisters from the orphanage, and I have you and Jina, as well as the teachers at school who are very kind to me, I am content."
Su Wan looked at her friend’s face, which bore a slightly melancholic smile, knowing Sheng An was lying.
But she did not continue on the topic any longer.
Previously, Su Wan felt that encountering her scumbag father, Su Zhen, was really unlucky.
Moreover, both of her blood-related older brothers had been equally disappointing.
But compared to Sheng An, Su Wan felt she was still very fortunate.
After all, her mother Lin Ranyue had always favored her greatly, and her grandfather was very fair.
Latter on, Su Wan also met many trustworthy friends.
The most important thing was that she now had Commander Gu and Xiaochen, a warm home.
Su Wan, while looking at Sheng An’s profile, said softly in her heart, Xiao’an, you are wonderful, and in the future, many people will treat you sincerely.
As for your birth parents, who abandoned you back then,
that will be the biggest failure of their lives!

Gu Lei returned to the old Mu Family home.
After a long time, this was his first visit back.
In fact, Gu Lei never really felt much of a sense of home in this old house.
When he was young, because of his high talent, all the elders in the family preached incessantly to him.
They told him he must work hard and not waste his talent.
Later on, Gu Lei did work hard and became an outstanding teacher and department head at Empire University.
Some even said that after Principal Audrey retired, Gu Lei might very well succeed as the next principal of Empire University.
But as for the rest of the Mu Family, they didn’t care about that.
They only cared about when he would marry and have children,
to pass down the excellent genes of the Mu Family.
An excellent, walking gene bank of the Mu Family? Hmph.
Snapping out of his thoughts, looking at everything in front of him, Gu Lei only felt it was extremely jarring.
Gu Jue got off another aircraft and walked down.
He said, "Butler Mu has summoned us, claiming that this matter was orchestrated by the old family head."
Gu Lei clenched his fists tightly.
Gu Jue said, "Let’s interrogate him together later, I’ll ask him first about the source of the poisonous insect, and when I’m done, you can say whatever you want to him."
Gu Lei nodded, "Okay."
Gu Lei paused and then sincerely said, "Commander Gu, this time, please extend my thanks to Xiaochen."
If it hadn’t been for that child’s intervention at the time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
